Running in Lech

Running begins where the road ends

RunningRecharge your batteries

Some people stroll or walk, others jog or run. And then there are those who do Nordic walking or trail running. Still others love mountain running or
high-altitude jogging. These are all forms of exercise, types of running. Lech Zürs am Arlberg offers the perfect terrain for this type of sport/exercise.

ideal for recharging your batteries:The mountain landscape of Lech Zürs is full of vitality

In summer it is quieter than in the winter, making it the ideal time to spend time in nature concentrating on your mind and body. Whether you move quickly
or slowly, whether strolling, hiking or jogging, on one of the stunning plateaus of Lech Zürs or climbing up a mountain – moving forwards at your own pace
focuses the mind. Exercising in the fresh air assists the body during training and promotes mental regeneration. The recreational value is at least as high
as the fitness value.

Deep breath and you're off!

The ten running trails in Lech Zürs cover a total of 54 kilometres. Extreme sports enthusiasts can power their way along them, just as joggers can relax
and take their time. The routes are varied, leading over pebbly shore paths, soft meadows and fields, mossy forest and woodland paths. The best type of
ground for using the muscles while at the same time protecting the joints. The natural ground underfoot also massages the soles of the feet. By
taking your sports shoes off after a long run, putting your feet in the cool waters of the Lech river and breathing deeply a few times so that the
wonderfully fresh mountain air gets right to the tips of the lungs, you can give your circulation some extra momentum. This is when you know for sure how
good a summer activity holiday in Lech Zürs am Arlberg is for you.

Effect of altitude trainingproven scientifically

What ambitious mountaineers and runners feel intuitively has been proven scientifically for a long time: even a short time spent at medium altitudes, i.e.
1500-2500 metres, combined with exercise, has a positive impact on health and leads to lasting well-being. Body and mind regenerate and a feeling of
happiness develops. A significant factor is the stem cell activation that takes place in lofty climes, which leads to a sense of whole-body well-being.
This has been confirmed by the AMAS (Austrian Moderate Altitude Study) altitude studies I and II. The studies were partially conducted in Lech Zürs am
Arlberg.
